New York is definitely not a travel destination that needs convincing. However, we want to suggest a completely different way to experience New York as a millennial.
Of course, you must visit some of the most impressive landmarks of the city. There is an endless list of spots that you cannot miss while you visit New York.
This includes The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building, Central Park, The Museum of Modern Art, Times Square, and much more.
